A member of the famed Kennedy family, Tatiana Schlossberg, succumbed on Tuesday following a recent disclosure of a rare leukemia diagnosis.
A Public Announcement Confirm the Loss
Her passing was shared in a public statement by the Kennedy Presidential Library.
“Tatiana passed away this morning. She will forever remain in our hearts.”
Understanding the Illness
In a published essay late last year, she disclosed that she had been suffering from acute myeloid leukemia with a uncommon variant.
This form of cancer is a disease that targets the bone marrow and blood cells.
The family asks for privacy during this time as they cope with their sorrow.
